Lovely baby kisses

So my 6 month old has started giving me kisses. Or at least I chose to believe that is what is happening. Here is how it happens: I give baby a hug/kiss. Baby grabs my hair with both hands and headbutts me. Hard. Then proceeds to open their mouth as wide as possible and mashes it to my face. If not removed immediately baby will keep going across my face. As I sit there with drool all over my face and a good chunk of my hair in baby’s hands I have never felt so loved and disgusted at the same time.

My baby boy is 9 weeks old today. The father still hasn’t met him. I’m trying so hard to do the right thing by my son, but wtf? What do I do? Particularly interested in perspective from adults whose father wasn’t involved in their childhood by choice.
